New York City / Staten Island
Staten Island has 494,956 residents (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=060XX00US3608570915, checked 2026-10-19), about 8,604 people per square mile.
Staten Island is about 13 miles from the Census center point for New York City in a straight line and covers 57.523 square miles of land (Census 2024 Gazetteer internal points and land area, https://www2.census.gov/geo/docs/maps-data/data/gazetteer/2024_Gazetteer/, checked 2026-10-19).
The quote form takes a ZIP code; for Staten Island that is 10301, 10302, 10303, 10304, 10305, 10306, 10307, 10308 and 5 more (Census 2020 ZCTA to county subdivision and ZCTA to place relationship files, ZIP areas at least 20% inside the town, https://www2.census.gov/geo/docs/maps-data/data/rel2020/zcta520/tab20_zcta520_cousub20_natl.txt and https://www2.census.gov/geo/docs/maps-data/data/rel2020/zcta520/tab20_zcta520_place20_natl.txt, checked 2026-10-19).
35% of Staten Island homes are single-family detached, 26% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 13% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=060XX00US3608570915, checked 2026-10-19).
32% of Staten Island homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=060XX00US3608570915, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 35% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.
Of the 170,777 occupied homes in Staten Island, 85% heat with natural gas, 4% with heating oil, 7% with electricity and 2% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=060XX00US3608570915, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas heats 85% of Staten Island against electricity at 7%, so most quotes here are a partial-home system that carries the shoulder seasons and the summer while the gas boiler stays for the deepest cold, or a whole-home system when the house is ready for it.
Staten Island has about the Richmond County oil share of 4% and the same 7% electric share (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US36085, checked 2026-10-19).
No electric utility is on file for Staten Island on this door yet, so this page does not name one; the name on the bill decides which rebate path applies.
NYS Clean Heat (Con Edison), run by Con Edison, is a live program for New York addresses and lists a standard figure of $7,000 (registry row 5 verified 2026-10-16, https://www.coned.com/en/save-money/rebates-incentives-tax-credits/rebates-incentives-tax-credits-for-residential-customers/electric-heating-and-cooling-technology-for-renters-homeowners/save-on-a-central-air-source-heat-pump, checked 2026-10-16); confirm eligibility for the Staten Island address before counting it. With 7% of Staten Island homes already on electric heat and 91% on gas, oil or propane, the row that applies depends on the name on the electric bill and the fuel coming out.
Staten Island has 184,621 housing units, 18% built before 1940 and 60% before 1980, with 15% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=060XX00US3608570915, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Staten Island home was built in 1974 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=060XX00US3608570915, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5.6 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=060XX00US3608570915, checked 2026-10-19).

That 10F figure is the Richmond County cold-day number a Staten Island heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 10F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 85% of Staten Island on gas and 7% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Staten Island home has 5.6 rooms and was built around 1974, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
